My motormobilist videos

Today I posted a new Motormobilist video.
" A ride in the neighborhood on my BMW R850R". In the Netherlands, we have a lockdown and we are not allowed to go abroad so now I make videos in The Netherlands. So I made a video of just a nice ride in the beautiful area in which I live, followed by a visit to Motorservice Ossendrecht because I had a problem with my ABS system.

In the future, I'll post my video announcements here.

Today I published another Motormobilist video.
It is about a motorcycle ride of my son Vincent and I on our BMW motorcycles to Fort De Roovere, an old fort from 1628, a big watchtower and a 'Mozesbridge' in Halsteren. The video is in Dutch with English subtitles.

Thanks Grant, it works fine that way. More videos to come (I'll try to publish a video every Friday).

A lot of effort went into putting that video together Jan so well done. Multiple cameras, multiple angles, rideby shots so you have to go back for the camera afterwards, and, I'd guess, a long time in front of a computer editing it all. I also liked the balance between the 'voiceover' commentary, the ambient background noise and the music (not you playing was it?). It must have taken ages to do and I'm impressed. I think I'm going to need to up my game.

Do you 'storyboard' the ride, i.e. plan the shots out beforehand, or just film everything and work it out afterwards.

Only improvement I'd make would be to add a bit of sunshine but I'd guess you've got that planned for the next one - or is that going to be ice riding along the canals

Thanks for the compliment Backofbeyond.

I do spend much time to get the sound right. I don't like it when I watch a video and the music is so much louder then the speech.
It takes a lot of time. Two hours riding, a day and a half editing and a few hours for the subtitles. Fortunately I am retired ;-)

We don't do a real storyboard, but we do have a general plan and we do some research about the place we are going to.

At this moment there is snow and ice everywhere but the next weekend should be a lot warmer and I hope for a sunny ride again.
When I was a lot younger, I used to ride to work in summer and winter, even in the snow, but now slippery roads is the only reason not to ride.
Cold or rain is no problem with the right clothing but black ice and snow is to risky for me.

I am looking forward to be able to make long trips to other (sunny) countries again but for now, I am afraid the comming rides will all be in the Netherlands because of the corona-crisis.

This afternoon, I published another Motormobilist video.
It is about a solo motorcycle ride from Ravenhof Castle in Putte on the Belgian border, through the nice scenery of the Brabantse Wal past Bergen op Zoom and then back home.

The video is in Dutch with English subtitles.

This video is recorded and edited by my son Vincent.
On this video, Vincent rides west from Hoogerheide into the province of Zeeland. While the sun is setting, he comes with his BMW F650GS Dakar along and through many Zeeland places including: Rilland, Krabbendijke, Kruiningen, Wemeldinge, Kapelle, Goes, Nisse and Heinkenszand. The end point of this ride is at the bottom of a seawall to the south-east of Vlissingen.

My son Vincent made this short video about a truck smashing a road sign while the trucker doesn't even notice! The video is in Dutch with English subtitles.

Unfortunately , due to a broken harddisk causing video files to be damaged, no new motorist video today.
